Thank you for showing up us humans--we sure can learn from the animals. The absolute tenderness of the monkey and the cat, the casual acceptance of shared dishes, cat and bird--a touching and telling achievement!

I think the cat looks so perfectly content...just loving the attention. A cat would never stay in that relaxed position unless he or she was happy with it. This photo wasn't taken at The Popcorn Zoo by any chance, was it?

i don't see any sadness, just contentment. Cats just don't sit like that if they don't want to.It reminds me of Coco and her kitten too. Probably similar type of situation.PS cats are WONDERFUL creatures, who love and care when they want to :)K

Hey Victoria, if you hate cats SO much, why is your blog name CAt??????? By the way, cats are some of the most adorable creatures on earth, and if you have a problem with them, maybe you should keep it to yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only lesson humans can learn from this picture is that this is not natural, LOOK AT THE CHAIN!!! This monkey is traumatized. It's illegal to own a monkey!! Why is it chained up if it's at the zoo?? Add it all up and it sounds like neglect, cruelty and abuseNOT CUTE

I have a kitten looks so much like this one both kids thought I had photoshopped this pix when I showed it to them. There's a small spot on the bottom of this kitten's right hind paw that our kitten does not have - can't help but wonder if it's one of his brothers or sisters though. Doesn't just look like our kitten but sits on his butt like an old man with his hind paws up just like ours does. Yup, that one happy, content kitten.

First of all, the cats arm is resting underneath the arm of the monkey...this is not looking like an editing job. Second, the monkey, is a MONKEY. He looks CONTENTED. I don't think that he is contemplating the turn of events in his life that led him to this place and time. The cat, is a cat. If the cat did not want to cuddle, he would not be there with the monkey.Life is grim, and the world can be cruel, but how about we not look for misery at every turn.

I think the monkey is just quiet and focused on the cat. They are very social. Cats are great pets. I sit in amazement of mine everyday. Easy to care for and if you know how to relate to them they are great companion pets.
